The torch dropped about ten feet deep and reached the bottom. There was no water under the well, but a dry stone platform.
Not only was there no well water, but there were also no bones left behind by the corpses dumped all over the place.
"Why isn't there even a corpse?"
"It shouldn't be."
Fatty Li and the old Taoist priest looked at the situation underground and said in surprise at the same time.
rustle--
rustle--
In the claustrophobic and quiet space, bursts of rubbing sounds suddenly came from the sand. Listen carefully and you can see that they are coming from underground. Fatty Li and the old Taoist priest held their breaths at the same time.
There's something down there!
With the help of the dim light from the torch, they noticed that the wall at the bottom of the well was not sealed, and there was always a dark wind blowing.
call!
A gust of wind suddenly blew from the bottom of the well, and the torches were suddenly extinguished, causing the well to plunge into darkness.
"Why did the torch go out!"
"Something seemed to flash by under the well!"
The two people exclaimed and reacted quickly by throwing a torch again, but there was nothing under the well, not even the torch they had thrown down before. It disappeared.
Hiss!
"That's so fast. Little brother, did you see clearly what flashed by just now?" The old Taoist priest turned to ask Jin An.
Jin An frowned: "It's human hands."
manpower?
Could it be that the dead who were dumped here were nourished by Yin Qi underground and faked their corpses?
Or is it the female corpse in the coffin that has been wandering down the well for the first seven times?
Afterwards, Jin An took the lead to go down the well. He wanted to see where the ruins of the former dynasty, which extended in all directions, would eventually lead.
The second one was the old dog that looked like a human.
Even though the old dog usually only eats and sleeps and farts, he was able to dig graves and pick up bones in Gui Mo Mountain. He was also an extraordinary character.
The old dog jumped several times on the wall of the well, and finally landed on its limbs, which were as steady as an old dog.
Fatty Li is also a good martial artist, and he easily went down into the well with the old Taoist priest on his back: "Master Chen, what did you eat tonight? It's so heavy to carry?"
"Don't look at Daozhang Chen, you look quite thin, and you also have a lot of stuff in your belly."
The old Taoist priest who was afraid of heights had just landed and was about to take a deep breath to relax. Suddenly his face changed drastically and he tightly covered his mouth and nose with his Taoist robe: "The smell of blood and putrefaction down here is so strong that it almost knocked me unconscious on the spot."
past!"
The old Taoist priest held his breath nervously and no longer dared to take a big breath.
The space under the well is very spacious and can accommodate about twenty people. There are seven statues of gods erected on the walls of the well, and there is a bronze altar in front of each statue.
The altar was covered with a thick layer of dust, the incense burner was covered with cobwebs, and the candlesticks holding the incense candles were knocked over or rolled to the ground. These details gave people a sense of desolation that no one had been here to clean and worship for a long time.
The bronze statue has a dragon head and a human body. The seven statues have different expressions of joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear and surprise.
Being stared at by so many strange expressions at close range made the atmosphere here become even more eerie and eerie.
On the chest of each dragon-headed statue, there is a hole the size of a pair of fists. Behind the hole, it is so dark that nothing can be seen.
However, under the light of the torch, I saw a lot of blood stains scattered near the hole in the chest of the statue. The blood stains were old and new, and the blood stains were very thick. I even saw some pieces of flesh foam, some of which had been dried and had been there for an unknown number of years.
The dark wind under the well is blown out from the holes in the chests of these statues.
Seeing the blood stains and fleshy fragments on the surface of the statues, the old Taoist priest exclaimed: "Little brother, are the human hands you just saw protruding from the big holes in the chests of these statues?"
Hearing this, Fatty Li and Lao Gou subconsciously moved away from the bronze statue and stood in the middle of the well. Fatty Li frowned: "Master Chen, you mean that the dead who were thrown into the well were all killed by the hands stretched out from behind the statue.
Was it torn into pieces and eaten?"
Fatty Li looked around at the seven statues of gods under the well: "There are seven statues of dragon-headed gods here, and there are at least seven human-eating things hidden under the well!"
At this time, Jin An patted the old dog's head: "I, the Five Zang Taoist Temple, do not raise idlers, so the rest will be up to you."
"Help me find the statue with the latest bloody smell."
The old dog circled around the bottom of the well several times, then bared its teeth at one of the statues and lowered its body in an attacking posture.
Jin An touched the dog's head and came to the bronze statue. When he looked at the hole in the statue's chest, in the dark world behind the statue's chest, a cold, numb, blue eyeball like a ghost's eye was also lying behind the hole.
He was watching them coldly.
"sneaking."
Jin An pointed out that it was like lightning, blood spattered, and he broke the eyeball behind the hole of the statue with one finger.
A hoarse and low human roar of pain resounded, the statue shook violently, the chains on the well wall trembled, and a large amount of dust fell. Listening to this movement, it sounded like something behind the statue was hitting the statue in pain.
When Jin An withdrew his fingers, he saw an eyeball between his index and middle fingers, which was dripping with blood.
The old Taoist priest, Fatty Li, and the old dog felt chills on their backs and subconsciously raised their hands to cover their eyes.
It is strange to say that after the eyeball left the body, it could still move back and forth and was not dead. However, the eyeball had been pierced by Jin An's fingertips, and even if he wanted to see, he could not see anything.
Perhaps because he was blind and could not see the outside situation, the movement behind the statue soon stopped and fell into dead silence.
sulfuric acid!
Shang Fu's tiger-faced sword was unsheathed, and he chopped the bronze statue of a dragon-headed human figure in front of him with one strike, with great force.
boom!
There were violent ripples in the void, creating violent air currents, as if someone had broken through the Qimen Dunjia barrier here.
There was nothing behind the statue except for blood dripping on the ground.
Jin An sheathed his sword, holding his eyeball in his hand, and stalked into the secret passage behind the statue.
Several people and a dog quickly caught up.
Following the blood stains on the ground, Jin An came to a huge stone platform that looked like an altar. It was said to be like an altar because he saw a four-legged bronze square tripod on the huge stone platform.
The bronze square tripod has always been closely related to sacrifice, alchemy, and cooking.
Then he saw many human skeletons in the bronze square tripod. There were clear tooth marks on the surface of these bones. It seemed that the bronze square tripod was the feeding place of the monster behind the statue.
"It seems that someone deliberately fed man-eating monsters in the underground ruins of the capital." Jin An's voice was cold, with a trace of murderous intent leaking out.
The man-eating monster is not here. It seems to have intelligence. It must have noticed that Jin An was following the blood stains. The blood stains on the ground disappeared here.
But Jin'an has plenty of means to track him down.
This time he did not use the Taoist technique of detecting objects, but used Luo Geng's Jade Plate to track him, hoping that Luo Geng's Jade Plate could lead him to find the man-eating monster's lair and wipe out these monsters in one fell swoop.
As Jin An placed his eyes on Luo Geng's jade plate, the artifact quickly sensed it and led him deeper into the ruins, which were as large and complex as an underground palace and full of forks.
Along the way he met two more identical cannibals.
The stench became more and more unpleasant as we walked inside, as if there was a large corpse pit deep in the ruins of the previous dynasty, which was constantly emitting the stench of decay.
Soon, they came to a huge low-lying space, where they encountered a huge man-eating Fang Ding that was ten times larger than the man-eating Fang Ding they had seen before.
The ghostly atmosphere in the huge cannibal cooking cauldron and the stench of decay are constantly wafting out from here.
When they arrived here, they happened to see a crowd of people, kneeling on the ground and worshiping the giant man-eating cooking cauldron.
There were people kneeling in all directions.
It seemed as if some evil ritual was being performed.
However, the ceremony of these people was interrupted with the arrival of Jin An.
A pair of cold and numb eyes raised their eyes, flashing with a ghostly green light, staring directly at several large living people who suddenly appeared.
Jin An first raised his head to glance at the huge bronze square tripod, and then turned his gaze to the black and kneeling crowd in front of him: "What the hell are you? My divine consciousness can't detect your existence at all."
"No wonder you can hide under the capital and play tricks without being discovered."
The answer to Jin'an was that the bloodthirsty crowd rushed towards Jin'an madly.
